Mathematics Question on Limits
If 31∫3∣logex∣dx=nmloge(vn2), where m and n are coprime natural numbers, then m2+n2−5 is equal to _____
Answer
The correct answer is 20.
31∫3∣ℓnx∣dx=31∫1(−ℓnx)dx+1∫3(ℓnx)dx
=−[xℓnx−x]1/31+[xℓnx−x]13
=−[−1−(31ℓn31−31)]+[3ℓn3−3−(−1)]
=[−32−31ℓn31]+[3ℓn3−2]
=−34+38ℓn3
=34(2ℓn3−1)
=34(ℓne9)
∴m=4,n=3
Now, m2+n2−5=16+9−5=20
